about

“Kirkland” was written about Witthoeft’s experience with his mother being admitted to an extended medical care facility at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.

lyrics

It was all so dramatic, the headlines said not to panic
But wash your hands and face, and clean up everything
And you, you’re stuck in there, A home that isn’t really a home
God, I gotta get you out of this place

It was a leap year,
I didn’t know what to do with these fears
The hospital smelled, you’re not cleared
We had to play it by ear,
The comfort of these so small beers
It’s all so weird, without you here

There was a run on Kirkland signature products,
And that was ironic
But clearly I am not laughing now

I want you to be here
I want you to feel the feels that I feel
The hospital smelled, you’re not cleared
We had to play it by ear,
The comfort of these so small beers
It’s all so weird, without you here

The blue hair and cruise ship memes didn’t make me feel better
Nor were they clever
God I gotta get you out of this place

A high gear, that’s where I go to when you can’t hear
Crying for help, just waiting there
I want you to be here
I want you to feel the feels that I feel
The hospital smelled, you’re not cleared
